Franklin Parish Library hosts tea

Setting up for the tea at the Franklin Parish Public Library were, from left, Janis Smith, June Chapman, Carolyn Flynt and Lynn Strahan.

Participants in a recent LEH RELIC course conducted at the Franklin Parish Public Library in Winnsboro enjoyed a very special treat following their final class. The staff, headed by FPPL Director Carolyn Flint, prepared and served a proper British tea in keeping with the theme of the series - "Elizabeth I and Her Times." Assisting Flint were staffers June Chapman, Janis Smith and Lynn Strahan.

The tea featured a variety of delicious teatime foods. Several kinds of biscuits ("cookies" to Americans), a fresh lemon curd, chicken salad sandwiches, cucumber sandwiches, chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles, and a wonderful graham cracker cake were among the offerings. Three varieties of scones (chocolate chip, cranberry raisin, and blueberry) with a delicious Devonshire cream were particular favorites.

Florence Butts of Epps will be honored for her 100th birthday with a reception at Epps Baptist Church from noon-3 p.m. July 27.

Family and friends are invited to come by and say hello and share memories and stories. No gifts, please, your presence is enough.
